Roman Blinds — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Roman blinds and roller blinds?
A roller blind wraps around a tube and has a flat, modern look; a Roman blind draws up into soft horizontal fabric folds for a richer, more decorative finish closer to a curtain. Romans suit formal and soft interiors; rollers suit clean, contemporary rooms and wet areas.
How much do Roman blinds cost in Cape Town?
Roman blinds typically run from about R900 per m² for standard fabrics up to around R2,000 per m² for premium designer fabrics with blockout linings. Pricing depends mainly on the fabric you choose — we bring samples to the free measure and quote exactly.
Can Roman blinds be made fully blockout for a bedroom?
Yes — we back the decorative face fabric with a blockout lining, which gives near-total darkness while keeping the soft Roman look on the room side. This is our most popular bedroom Roman option.
Are Roman blinds suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
Generally no — fabric Romans can absorb steam, cooking smells and moisture, so for wet areas we recommend roller, aluminium or faux-wood blinds instead. Romans are at their best in lounges, dining rooms and bedrooms.
Can I supply my own fabric for a Roman blind?
In many cases yes — if you have a fabric you love we can advise whether it is suitable for a Roman blind and make it up for you. We will check the weight and weave at the measure.
